A Houston area family sat down to breakfast when they noticed that one of the pancakes Mom made had the image of the Virgin Mary on it. They say it’s a good omen and plan to hold onto the fantastic flapjack.

Pastor Renee Brewster of Orlando, Florida, was looking for an excuse to get out of making potato salad for the church’s weekly rescue mission because “Sister Frankie makes the potato salad at church and I said lord if it’s not for me to make potato salad then send me a sign.” She cut into a potato and put it aside because it looked rotten. Her 10-year-old granddaughter pointed out that there seemed to be an image of a cross with Jesus on the cut potato. Brewster froze the piece, then used the rest to make the potato salad. They say it was the best she ever made.

Two years ago, a granite distributor in Pinellas County, Florida bought a slab at a granite mine in Brazil near the town of Espirito Santo, which translates as “holy spirit.” Although it was in two pieces, cut and ready to be sold, he immediately noticed an image of Jesus on the cross. After holding onto it for two years, the anonymous owner is putting the 7-by-7-foot piece of polished granite up for sale on eBay next week. How much it will sell for? A normal piece of granite like this would sell for $4,000. But one with the image of Jesus? Priceless.

Nancy Kelly McCabe of Wellington, Florida, found a seashell in Palm Beach last August that she thought looked like the mirror image of Our Lady of Guadalupe in prayer. Since finding it she says “every negative aspect of my life has taken a turn for the positive.” That’s more than you can say for the mollusk who once lived in the shell.

After experiencing chest pains, Reynaldo Farinas of Homestead, Florida, went to the hospital where doctors ordered a chest X-ray. When shown the X-ray film, Farinas spotted the face of Jesus Christ. Both the doctor and a medical technician agreed that it resembles Christ, but neither could explain what it was doing there or whether he needed antibiotics.

People have been lining up to see the image of the Virgin Mary ever since a security guard saw it on a cloth in a chapel at St. Brendan Catholic Church in Miami. Some say they only see Mary while others see the whole family, including “the silhouette of Joseph and the curve of the head of baby Jesus.” While it’s a little soon to be wintering in Florida, it could be an Early Bird Special appearance.
